Chapter 69: Combat Training
Feng did not participate in today's escort event because Xiaotian was right next door to him, so he already knew everything about the situation in Novice Village. If there were no special circumstances, there was no need to go back at all.
In the morning, he came to the iron ore area and wanted to take a look at the situation here. After a day yesterday, the quarry and iron smelting plant had been built and officially put into use today.
Brother Hammer's second apprentice is responsible for mining the mines. Because the construction NPC is only responsible for building buildings and not mining ores, there are two ways for players to mine ores:
1. You can hire NPC, and you need to pay by the hour or by the day;
2. Players can mine it themselves. This is a good opportunity to earn contribution points from the inn. Many inn members come to the mine to work as part-time workers, digging for ore in the mine with shovels.
There are two situations when players mine ores.
One is active control. In this case, players can change the mining position at any time according to the mining situation, so the waste rate is low and the output is high.
The other is to hang up online. In this case, players will blindly mine in one place. Even if there are scraps, they will not know, so the waste rate is high and the output is low.
The output is directly linked to the inn's contribution value. If you want to contribute more, you must choose the first option.
Once the ore is mined, transporters are needed to transport the ore to the ironworks. All these transporters are hired by NPCs.
Why not use players? That's because during the transportation process, you can't hang up and it's difficult for players to operate.
The ironworks is divided into two departments.
A refining department is now in charge of Brother Chui's third apprentice. Many complicated processes in reality have been streamlined here and completed in one step. Put the ore in from this side, and what comes out from the other side is refined iron.
Another department is the forging department. The forging department is personally in charge of Brother Hammer. This is where weapons are made.
The second and third apprentices were only temporarily arranged like this by Brother Chui, because they had not passed the weapon life skills assessment and did not have relevant forging skills, so coming to the forging department now would not be of much use.
As for Brother Zhui's eldest apprentice, he is still in Mengran Jiangshan, and is currently the chief weapon master of Mengran Jiangshan.
As the saying goes, everyone has his own ideas and plans.
Feng came to the forging department. Brother Chui was already busy forging weapons. The sound of "dang, clang, clang, clang" came from the forging table.
Compared with the simple process of the refining department, the process of the forging department is very complicated.
The first step is to make a mold. Mold making is to make the corresponding weapon mold according to the weapon style you need;
The second step is to smelt the refined iron, and then smelt the extracted refined iron into liquid at high temperature, while further removing impurities in the refined iron;
The third step is casting. The refined iron smelted into liquid is poured into the weapon mold to create the prototype of the weapon;
The fourth step is forging. Forging is to further refine the prototype of the weapon. This is the most important, complex, and final step in weapon forging. It determines whether the weapon can be made into the finished product you want.
The fifth step is processing. You can engrave, carve, etc. on the finished weapon. This step is optional.
He came here this time to see if any ninth-grade fine iron had been mined, because his ninth-grade sword was now at the elementary level and needed to be "upgraded" by adding ninth-grade fine iron. It's a pity that what is extracted now is ordinary refined iron, so he can only return in vain.
But he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he took a new gun and walked to a nearby open space to start practicing.
He hadn't practiced with the gun for almost ten days, and he was still a little unfamiliar with it at the beginning.
It really proves the old saying: "If you don't practice for one day, your hands and feet will be slow, and if you don't practice for two days, you will lose half of your skills. If you don't practice for three days, you will be a layman, and if you don't practice for four days, you will be dumb."
As one movement changed after another, the feeling of "shooting out like a dragon" slowly returned to his mind, and the connection between movements became more and more smooth.
The sudden practice of marksmanship today was not a whim, but to prepare for the weekly combat training in the afternoon. Since he has promised to improve everyone's combat skills, he must work hard to do his best.
After he had regained his marksmanship, he rode his big black horse to the wild area, ready to start actual combat. The target of the actual combat was ordinary wild monsters.
This gun is just an ordinary weapon, and ordinary wild monsters are the best opponents to practice combat skills.
The way a gun hunts wild monsters is different from that of a knife. It is more targeted and can often seriously injure the opponent with one blow, or even kill it with one blow. However, it is also very difficult to hit the opponent's weak point.
He also discovered a benefit of the gun. It was very advantageous to use on horses.
Use the running speed of the horse to increase the strength of the spear thrust. This strength can directly penetrate the skin of wild monsters and pierce the enemy's heart.
"No wonder most of the weapons used by ancient cavalry were guns."
If he wants to use the ninth-grade sword on horses, it is not impossible. Then he needs to lengthen the handle of the ninth-grade sword. Otherwise, the attack range will be too short and there will be no advantage.
After careful consideration, he formulated his future battle strategy: "Use the knife as the main weapon and the gun as the supplement. Use the knife when you are under the horse, and the gun when you are immediately."
Practicing swordsmanship, practicing spears, and practicing internal skills, the morning time slipped away quietly in the process of these three exercises.
In the afternoon, at the agreed time and place, combat training officially began. The coach is composed of him, Xiao Chao and Fat Brother.
According to different weapons, they are divided into several different groups.
He and Little Naughty are the trainers of the knife, Xiao Chao and Cold Beer are the trainers of the sword, Fat Brother is the trainer of the stick, and he is also the trainer of the gun. As for players who use other weapons, they have no choice but to let these members train freely or watch from the sidelines.
However, in this game, more than half of the people use knives and swords, followed by guns, sticks, axes and other weapons. As for other less popular weapons, that’s not to say that no players use them, but it’s rare to see anyone using them as their main weapon.
As far as the entire game is concerned, according to combat ability, it can be divided into two groups.
One type is players who have played the internal beta of the game. They have two months of combat experience and have perfected their skills in all aspects. What they lack is just personal combat awareness and handling of combat details.
These players only need to give guidance at critical moments. If they can understand it, their combat ability will be greatly improved. If you can't understand it, you can only say that you lack some talent, and only hard work can make up for it.
The other type is players who have only entered the game during the open beta. They have only played the game for a few days and are not yet fully accustomed to the game's combat operations. Some players even have not even matched the complete action moves.
This type of player starts from scratch and must start with the introduction of the initial action pairing, then some combat skills and routines during the battle, and finally gain from actual combat.
After the grouping was completed, group training began. He first taught gun combat skills.
There are exactly 16 players who use guns as their main weapons. The sixteen players are divided into eight teams and let them fight in pairs.
What's embarrassing is that among these 16 people, only two people have played the closed beta of the game. They are named: Langzi and Zhantian.
The battle between Langzi and Zhantian was quite exciting. Although it was the first time for Feng to watch them fight, he could already tell that this was definitely not the first time that the two sides had fought like this.
Although they both use guns, the fighting styles of the two sides are also different. The prodigal's fighting style is defensive and counterattack, while the fighting style is very similar to Westbrook's, which is active attack.
As for the other 14 people who only started playing during the public beta, these 14 people are all pretty good. Although they have not developed their own set of playing styles, they are already very proficient in the weapon weapon. There were seven groups of them, one at a time, one at me, and one at a time, and I was at you, and the fight was very lively.
After he stopped the battle between Langzi and Zhantian, he then commented on their battle and pointed out their respective shortcomings during the battle.
"If he attacks like this, we defend like this, and then we can counterattack like this."
"If he defends like this, we should attack like this, and then break his defense like this."
.....
After the comments and guidance, he would demonstrate the movements on the spot and conduct a one-on-one simulated battle with them. During the battle, he would also impart his own fighting insights.
Finally, let them practice combat.
As for the other 14 people, Feng explained to them several ways to shoot guns and asked them to choose one of them. After selecting, it is about pairing the corresponding actions. After pairing, it is about using these actions in a coherent manner.
"If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools." If your movements are incoherent, how can you change and how can you fight against the enemy?
After teaching him the gun, he came to Little Naughty's side. There were the most players using knives, a total of fifty.
Many players joined Chaowei Feng because Feng used a knife. There are also many players who did not originally use a knife, but because Feng used a knife, they changed their main weapon to a knife.
"Big shopkeeper, you're finally here. There are so many people, and I don't know how to deal with it, so I can only teach you randomly." Faced with so many people, Little Naughty was clearly overwhelmed. When the little naughty boy saw him coming, he was as happy as if he had seen a savior.
The reason why Little Naughty is difficult to teach is because among the 50 players, 13 are players who have played in the closed beta. Among these players, two have even entered the top 200 in the closed beta. Their combat abilities Not much weaker than Little Naughty, making Little Naughty unable to start.
Little Naughty has also divided these 50 people into two groups, one group has played the closed beta, and the other group has only played the open beta.
So, he asked Xiao Naughty to teach the players who had only played the game after the public beta, and he would guide those who had played the closed beta.
Although these 13 players who have played the closed beta all used knives, they used a variety of knives, including machetes, Xiuchun knives, and even a player who called me Laiye, because his idol is Guan Yu, so The weapon is the Qinglong Yanyue Sword. No wonder the little naughty guy has a big head.
